| |
| ##excessive menstrual bleeding
| |

| |
| ##bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract (ulcers, hemorrhoids, etc.)
| |
| ##rarely laryngological bleeding or from the respiratory tract
| |
| #inadequate intake (special diets low in dietary iron)
| |
| #substances (in diet or drugs) interfering with iron absorption
| |
| #malabsorption syndromes
| |
| | |
| == Analysis ==
| |
| | |
| Some fans have speculated that [[Bree]] could be taking the supplements because her[[Bree's ritual | ritual]] involves drawing blood. Thus, she would be taking iron supplements to stave off anemia from excessive bleeding. This rumor has not been confirmed.
| |
| | |
| It could also be that her prescribed diet for the ceremony was low in iron, hence requiring that she supplement it with pills.
